And they said show us the plans and we can work it out.Across the street is what is soon to be more vacant lots as there is a old metal building workshops across the street along with another vacant lot.

Duct work & a/c evaporation coils need cleaning, carpets & padding are usually toast as is most of the door trim the animal uses to exit/enter.

There is a 3x3 metal hatch door in the walkway leading to the front entrance to my bldg.

I have one MF that had old plaster walls with newer electrical installed OVER the walls through metal tubing.

the vertical and diagonal cracks are concerning, OH is ground zero for foundation problems, I have stabilized several with horizontal cracking and bowing walls, but this makes me wonder if you have footing movement, I know of several homes here in WI that were built on unstable soil that has caused similar cracking, the houses often sink over time. there are methods to circumvent with piers or coils, my opinion is, if the deal is VERY good and you can monitor year to year and the cashflow is your play, its rare that houses fall down, consider the base value as static, dont count on appreciation in the future. you could be ok. 

For my first out of state investment, this met all my needs: in a state/city with growing population (Tampa), location in an up and coming neighborhood, 'rent ready', and reasonable cash flow.

If you did provide something, you wouldn't need to replace the front door, just add a metal security screen door.It might be a very reasonable request, but it's also reasonable for her to move to a property that has the safety features she desires if they are important to her.

At the top, I guess what would be the header there is thick metal screening.

The SFR had a new metal roof installed about 12 years ago so that won't be an issue.
